thatgamecompany Shares Journey’s First Trailer

Posted by Kellee Santiago on Dec 10, 2010 // President and co-founder of thatgamecompany

Hello hello hello! This is Kellee Santiago, and I am honored to fulfill thatgamecompany‘s final wish for 2010 – to show you more Journey. Most of you probably watched Jenova and I on SPIKE’s special pre-VGA show last night – well, I have more for you. Below is our very first trailer to showcase some of the great things to come.

I’m in NYC right now, where we’ve been talking more about the game, and specifically about our approach to creating a unique, intuitive, and accessible online experience. So keep a look out for more info to come!

I a super super mad, I did not get a chance to test this game out about a month ago, cause I was busy playing my PS3! This game looks so beautiful, but still don’t know how it will play. Will there be another testing phase in La?

I am really curious to know what are the gameplay elements in this game. I loved Flower because it had just enough of solid gameplay elements to take you through the beautifully built environments and well crafted soundtrack.
I already fell in love with the visuals and sounds from Journey, now I need to know the mechanics that will carry me in this trip. Keep up the great work!

I’m just not feeling this. The trailer comes across as saccharin and morose, not a game I’d want to play–based on the trailer. I WILL have a look at it tho’–but only because of this company’s past record of success.
Word of advice: re-cut the trailer!

Hey SONY, how about a GIFT option on PSN so I can send the love around? This would be a great business decision and it is also proven with services like Steam (<3 Valve).

Please put a GIFT option for future PSN titles, please.
Also, absolutely loving the trailer. This game was already a day 1 for me. Thatgamecompany is amazing and I hope you guys are doing whatever you can to keep them happy; we need more devs like that in this industry.

thatgamecompany has inspired me more than any other video game developer! When I get into the video game industry, I hope to follow in their footsteps and further push the limits of emotionally engaging interactive story telling.

Plllease tell us there will be a 1080p version of this trailer for download on PSN next week! I can’t wait to hear the music in HD!

It reminds me of one of my favorite PC adventure games, Quest for Glory II.

Looking at the 1080p pictures on flickr, there are more aliasing artifacts than I would expect for that resolution. Is the game rendering in some layers in 720p and upscaling to 1080p? Please fix or add MSAA to help.

This is killing me! First, “Uncharted 3.” Then, some new coverage of the Team ICO Collection. Now, frickin’ “Journey.” These are all my most wanted titles. If any new “The Last Guardian” info comes out in the next couple days, I will overload and die. :)

In a time when the video game industry seems to be flooded with summer-action-flick-type games, it’s refreshing to see a game come along that explores the boundaries of video games as an art form. I really like how TGC focuses first on making games that evoke an emotional response instead of getting bogged down with trying to pack in as many features as possible. Consider me sold.
